2023 Fantasy Outlook
Paye continued to improve in his second season as he posted six sacks and 45 tackles in 12 games. After playing a reserve role as a rookie, Paye moved into the starting lineup in 2022, but injured his ankle in Week 5, missing five of the next seven games. He then played his final four games on an ankle that wasn't at full strength. Now that he's set to reprise his starting role at defensive, he could produce double-digit sacks with better health.

Tallies 8.5 sacks in 2023
DEIndianapolis Colts
February 20, 2024
Paye notched 52 tackles (31 solo), 8.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season appearances in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Paye solidified himself as one of the Colts' more exceptional defensive players in 2023, setting a new career-best sack threshold. The 2021 first-round pick could be a candidate to reach double-digit sacks with another year in defensive coordinator Gus Bradley's scheme, as Indianapolis' defense as a whole ranked fifth in the NFL with 51 sacks in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Paye, the 21st overall pick in the 2021 draft, looks set to start at defensive end and build on a productive rookie season. He had just four sacks but was second on the team with 39 QB pressures (per PFF). He should improve his sack totals this season.
In selecting Paye in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 21st overall, the Colts added one of the best pass rushers in this draft class. The Michigan product has the frame (6-2, 261) to hold up against the run and boasts athleticism as well, running a 4.57-second 40-yard dash. He projects to play with his hand in the ground in Indianapolis' 4-3 scheme.
